Not hearing enough of this. There’s several who are highly likely to croak or retire in the next few years and the last thing we need is the Cheeto picking their successors.

If trump wins the SCOTUS will have an extreme right wing Christian majority for another 50 years.

That is longer than some of us will be alive...

People, please don't subject us to that because Biden had one poor night... the other guy lied, is insane, and will take this country back into the 1800's

How come we came into this reality ? Since when we have to choose the lesser evil of both candidates instead of voting for the right leader to lead us out of chaos time ? Both Reps and Dems are looking down on voters with threats "look, you have to vote for ME because the another guy is a bad guy" not because "I am a capable leader who is strong and healthy"

Biden was actually trying to speak to what his government has achieved to help everyday Americans. The moderators sat on their hands and let BS reign. No fact checking.

Do look at what the Democrats have managed to achieve, often with bi-partisan support. Low unemployment, good middle class job creation. Meaningful support for Unions. Reduction in cost of insulin, actual infrastructure projects, increased healthcare and childcare.

No chaotic tweets at two am, no daily drama, no whining. Actual respect for the rule of law.

The debate is not about facts and figutes. This is internet age people can verify these claims for few minutes. The debate is showing the votes how would you speak and present under pressure and Biden clearly did not win that aspect. How could Biden speak against Putin, Kim and Xi that he cannot speak against an idiot like Trump ? We need to change, now !

Do you seriously believe having Trump talking to his dictator heroes would be good for the USA?

Biden, on the other hand, is respected by your country’s allies and can speak with them. Debates are supposed to be about facts and figures. You’re supposed to prove your position.

It’s sad that Presidential debates have now devolved into slinging insults and unsubstantiated accusations.

Debates are theatre. International relations in the sense you're describing is not theatre.
